The Forgotten
February 17th, 2010
Wow, great responses on my last post! You all ROCK! I think there’s one thing I saw trending in the comments: keep your opinions to yourself unless asked. Totally agree! I hope that I am viewed as someone who is respectful of other people’s decisions and don’t push my convictions on everyone I meet. I don’t want it done to me, so I shouldn’t do it to others!
This post is going seems to be seriously lacking in substance compared to the last one, but I’m in a time cruch. I have to ride the bike tonight, study for my Greek test (got a B on the last one–can’t have that happen again! ha!), and I want to go to bed early so I can run before work tomorrow. That means an 4:30ish alarm. Oh my.
Anyhow, yesterday I had this horrible headache haunting me all day. I had a nice hill run before work (30 minutes, increasing incline every 3 minutes). It was tough but didn’t wipe me out for the day. I can’t wait to do it again, but next time, I’ll do it for longer.
I had an amazing Green Monster while I iced my foot afterwards.
It contained spinach, Tropicana50 OJ, 1 banana, ground flax, greek yogurt, ice. Amazing. I felt like I was drinking an Orange Julius–only it was green. And the prettiest green, too!
My headache slowly got worse throughout the day, and by the time I got home at 7:15, I was sick in my stomach. I was in bed at 8 and I missed the Olympics AND Lost! AND NO DINNER! It was a horrible, horrible night. I woke up feeling much better, just a slight “headache hangover”…which was made worse when I realized all that had been forgotten.
The bedroom.
The Kitchen.
The Laundry.
Oh, the Laundry.
And for some odd reason, I remember something else that I had been neglecting…
Racquetball! I remembered those rackets sitting in our closet, lonely, forgotten, and I now I’m determined to find a nearby court so that Dave and I can release some energy and get those rackets exercised.
Although last time we played David almost broke my hand with a bad shot. Seriously. A really bad shot. I was about 10 feet to his right amd just about 2 feet in front of him, and he hit the ball and it smacked me square on my engagement ring. We ended up running all over the college’s field house looking for the trainer. I don’t know what was more shocking: that the ring was ok, or that my hand was ok. It was miraculous. I think I haven’t played since then out of fear. But I think I’m ready to go back.
Do you have a sport or hobby that you fell you’ve been neglecting. I have a whole list, but right now I have racquetball on my mind!

Poor Abby! I was worried about your migraine last night…Okay I was really missing your Lost tweets
. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon! I love raquetball but haven’t played in 3 years! I was an intramural champ once upon a time! I hate those days when I feel like I can’t even get the smallest thing picked up because I’m too tired/too busy. Hope things slow down for you soon! In the meantime–go Apolo!
4:30ish alarm?! You are amazing!
I’ve been neglecting yoga. Unfortunately, there aren’t any good yoga studios around me. You’d think that as a certified yoga teacher, I could just get myself to practice on my own…but no such motivational luck. Plus, there are just way too many ways I want to be active. There isn’t enough time (or energy) in the day…
Glad the headache is subsiding!
Aww i LOVE TENNIS!! I played for about 10 years, very competitively. but i got very burnt out! This makes me miss it!
im glad your headache is better-i HATE migraines..they knock you out completely! have a great day abby!
Oh man I have only had a few migraines (surprisingly they both happened at my previous job…hmm) but they definitely ruin an entire day. And from the looks of it, your entire apartment, too! Make that man of yours help you out! oh my laundry is right!!! xoxo
Yea.. I was down for the count. The man usually cleans more than I do, but he was watching hockey—and when hockey is on, it’s like he’s not even there. I don’t even try to get his attention. IMPOSSIBLE!
I haven’t shot a basketball in MONTHS. I forsee me shooting early in the mornings at the park near my apt as the weather warms up.
Wow – you play racquetball too! I think we’re like the same person in two different bodies. But I’ll stop commenting on random posts now. I’m adding you to my blogroll!
I added you, too!!! I’m so glad you found me
I play racquetball, but I’m really not good at all. I just love that I can run around like a crazy person. It’s been about a year since I’ve played–I can’t wait to play again!
Hi Abby! Travis and I love racquetball, too. We like to go to SFU to play because you can just waltz in for free and play whenever Stokes is open. It sure beats paying to play at the Summit! I’m glad to see you’re doing well. I love your beautiful website. I often hear about your multi-talented brother from Rick, Travis’ dad, and I see that what he says is true!
I don’t suppose you would like to share the recipe for the amazing green monster? I would really appreciate it!
